Dapper man

A glint of metal goes a long way. These silver, shiny dining chairs serve up pure, dazzling lines in this room.

Where glamour is the norm, Sydney-based interior designer Greg Natale is known for his tailored, layered interiors that bring together design and decoration with invitation and warmth. Dynamic chevron, patterned marble floors and flashes of chrome - all of these things sit sweetly in a predominance of black and white. In the gallery below, we see a mix of Greg Natale interiors, from the Halston-inspired headquarters in Sydney to residential projects in Melbourne and beyond. In each case, the key to his fabulous designs is cohesion. "This is not the same as being matchy-matchy," he explains for me in my book The New Art Deco. "Regardless of the style or colour scheme, a cohesive space should feel balanced." Quite right.
